Chives, Chinese 'Ky Broad Leaf' / 'Nien Hwa'
- Product number: 335010
- Origin: Asia
- Latin: Allium tuberosum
Famous chives for their light and pleasant garlic flavor. The long leaves are flat instead of the pipe-shaped leaves you are used to from regular chives. Very popular in haute cuisine! The plants are very hardy and flower profusely with white clusters (unlike regular chives which bloom lilac). The flowers are gratefully and frequently visited by bees! In Asia, these chives are harvested with the flower stalks in bud: these are deliciously juicy and flavorful.
